One of the
famous dream of Don Bosco is when he received it at the age of 9. Don Bosco
believed that his vocation was given to him in this dream. He had this dream
several times during his life, each time it was a little different, and adding
details to what came before. Don Bosco didn't understand what the dream meant
at first. In fact, he would say it wasn't until he was told that he fully
understood what the Lord had asked of him, and that he had indeed been
faithful.
His mother was very much instrumental in this dream,
when she heard about John’s dream at the age of nine, she alone could interpret
it in the light of the Lord: “Who knows, but maybe you should become a priest”.
She allowed him to be with some of the rougher lads, because they were better
behaved around him. She accompanied him all the way to priesthood.
